Adopt a American Shorthair in Alabama

American Shorthairs are sturdy, easygoing, and adaptable cats — the all-American working barn cat refined into a recognized breed. They appear in rescue often and tend to be healthy and long-lived. A rescued American Shorthair is a low-maintenance, affectionate family companion.

Alabama's rescue cat population is significant, especially in rural communities where stray populations remain high. Trap-neuter-return programs in Birmingham and Montgomery have made progress, and adoptable cats are abundant statewide.
